Chapter 365 Sending Pomegranate Seedlings
The next morning, Zhao Dong and his group were going to the town to cook braised meat for the wine shop. Just then, Gu Qingqing asked Zhao Bei to drive the donkey cart and bring the braised meat to the town.
Gu Qingqing discovered that Wen Wuyan had done nothing since he came back, but she felt like she had even less work to do.
Early in the morning, she squatted at the foot of the wall again to look at the orange tree seeds she had planted some time ago. At this time, more than thirty orange seedlings were stretching out their small leaves in the morning light.
At that time, there was some distance between each of them, so they were more than half a foot tall and did not appear crowded on the left and right.
"Qingqing, I've been back for three days, and I've seen you countless times." It would be more accurate to say that Sanhua was holding on to his father and wouldn't let go rather than saying that Wen Wuyan was holding on to Sanhua.
She didn't give Wen Wuyan much face when they met for the first time, and now she wanted to turn into a little pendant on her father's leg, not wanting to be separated from her father.
Hearing this, Gu Qingqing turned her head and looked back at him and asked, "Are you free?"
"Do you have any work you want me to do?" Wen Wuyan said, and while squatting down, he held Sanhua in his arms and put her on the ground, his eyes moving back and forth over the saplings on the ground.
As Wen Wuyan came over, the children in the family all surrounded him. They didn't say anything, and it seemed that they were happy just being with their parents.
Gu Qingqing first said to the children, "Be careful, don't step on the fruit seedlings."
Then she said to Wen Wuyan, "If you have nothing to do now, go find a suitable place outside the gate and dig two small holes. I plan to transplant the seedlings there. In the future, the trees will be full of bright yellow fruits, which will look festive."
"Aunt, didn't you say before that you wanted to plant the fruit seedlings on the hillside?" Daxin has grown a lot taller recently. Now he was half bent over with his hands on his knees, looking at the fruit seedlings on the ground and asked.
Why do you say he is not growing taller than he actually is?
Because of the single coat I bought him last year, when he wore it this year, his arms were stretched out and a large part of his wrists were exposed.
Gu Qingqing looked up and smiled at him, "There are a lot of them here. I'll give two to your Aunt Meihua, two to Gengwu's family, two to my grandmother's family, and two to the door of our house. The rest will be planted on the hillside."
Li Xin just said "Oh" and straightened up, "I'm going to dig a hole, but where should I dig?"
"Let's go together. Daxin and I will start wherever you point." Wen Wuyan said to Gu Qingqing and stood up.
Sanhua stretched out her arms to ask her father to hug her, but her eldest sister grabbed her hand and said, "Sanhua, be obedient. Daddy has to go to work. Your second sister and I will hold you."
The family walked towards the door with tools in hand.
Gu Qingqing looked left and right, and finally drew a small circle at a suitable place and let them dig on the ground.
As for herself, she went home to water the saplings so that she could transplant them in the evening or tomorrow morning.
Gu Qingqing looked at Xiaomiao and was not sure whether Geng Chunhua should move away now. She thought about it and said something to Wen Wuyan, then walked towards the village alone.
Naturally, she met villagers on the way. Since they were all from the same village, it was impossible for her not to know them. She greeted everyone she met in a friendly manner.
"Is Mrs. Geng at home?" Gu Qingqing started shouting as soon as she entered the yard.
"Who is it? Chunhua is not at home." As the voice came out, Li Yu came out from the backyard of their house. When he saw that the person was Gu Qingqing, he smiled and asked, "But there is something urgent to find Chunhua. She went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet."
The weather in May is definitely not cold. Gu Qingqing saw that Zhao Dong and the others were all wearing short shirts. Wen Wuyan was also wearing a short shirt, but he would wear a vest on the outside sooner or later.
Looking at Li Yu in front of him, he was still wearing a spring shirt and he didn't look hot at all.
Can't it be false?
Gu Qingqing studied his expression.
Then he explained his purpose, "Oh, it's nothing urgent. Last time I said if the orange seedlings at home can grow well, I will give you two. Now the seedlings are half a foot tall. I just want to ask if you want to transplant them later or now."
"Then when she comes back, I'll let her visit your house," said Li Yu.
"Okay then, Brother Li, you go take care of your own thing, I'll go home first." After saying this, Gu Qingqing went home.
As a result, she hadn't returned home for a while when Geng Chunhua came over with a big smile on her face. As soon as she entered the yard, she shouted in a loud voice, "Qingqing, I was out for a while this morning and missed you. Hey, when did you plant so many flowers in your yard? There weren't any there when I came last time."
Gu Qingqing came out from the inner courtyard and went to greet her. "It's been a long time since you came. Maybe I will be different when you come next time."
"Haha, I'd like to come, but I have too much work to do at home. I've only been weeding the fields lately. Did you really grow the orange saplings? Come on, take me to see them."
Gu Qingqing took her to the base of the wall, then pointed at the small fruit seedlings and said, "They are still a little small, but it will work if we plant them and surround them with something. Do you want to wait until they grow bigger before moving them? Or do you want to move them this evening or tomorrow morning? I plan to move two of them and plant them outside the gate this evening."
"Okay, I'll move out in the evening too."
After chatting with the two for a while, Geng Chunhua left.
Gu Qingqing gave away two small fruit seedlings from her home and couldn't help but wonder, it has been more than a month, why is there still no movement on Meihua Niang's pomegranate tree?
So, what was she thinking?
Cao Cao is here.
Near noon, Niu Yuzhu came with both hands holding a pomegranate branch more than half a meter high.
"Brother Wuyan, sister-in-law, this is the pomegranate sapling my eldest brother-in-law sent me. Hurry up and dig a hole and plant it."
Gu Qingqing went to meet him happily, "I was just thinking that the pomegranate branches should be ready, but I didn't expect that they had already been delivered. Wuyan, let's go to the backyard and dig a hole."
"Sister-in-law, wait a minute." Niu Yuzhu saw Gu Qingqing pulling Wen Wuyan to the backyard and shouted hurriedly.
"Ah?" Gu Qingqing turned around and looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Niu Yuzhu raised his hand and scratched his head, asking a little embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I want to ask if your family has left some braised pig offal today. I, I want to bring some back for my brother-in-law. But don't worry, sister-in-law, we don't eat for free. This will be recorded at the end of the month and deducted from the plum blossom salary."
After hearing what he said, Gu Qingqing chuckled. She didn't answer him, but looked at Wen Wuyan beside her and said, "Look, Yuzhu is getting estranged from us."
Niu Yuzhu laughed over there, "How can I take advantage of your family?"
Gu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and said to him deliberately, "Since you want to pay, I won't sell it to you even if I have it left. If you just take it, I'll give you the big bowl I left."
"Yuzhu, you too, why are you so strange in my house? Now you are being blamed by your sister-in-law. Wait, there are some in the kitchen, I will..." Wen Wuyan said, looking at the pomegranate sapling in his hand, raised his head and shouted to Li Xin not far away, "Daxin, go to the kitchen and get the bowl of brine left in the cupboard and give it to your uncle Yuzhu."
Niu Yuzhu scratched his head again and smiled at Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing, "Then I won't be polite to you."
